Most of your "attacks" are from Google and Amazon, with Microsoft thrown in for good measure.
If these events are slowing down your router, that may be because it is using up processor time as it writes the events to your logs. Anything that uses processor power – event logging, QoS management, traffic metering – may cause slowdowns. Disable logging of DoS attacks and see if that reduces the problem. This does not prevent the router from protecting you from the outside world.
You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
Great response and explanation above! There messages are nothing to worry about.
In regards to you ping spikes, do you have both Geo-filter and QoS setup? These are the two biggest features for reducing this sort of behaviour in-game.
I have checked the IP of a few of the reports and it seems that it comes from a Corp not like google and what not. I’ve had an IP that didn’t pop up so I was thinking maybe it is spoofed. I will have to try and take of the scripts when I get home from work. Appreciate the thoughtfulness of your message
OK, I was just thinking perhaps this might have been something we can adjust to reduce these ping spikes but let us know how you get on and we'd be happy to assist further.
